Nehemiah 6:6-8

6In it was written: It is reported among the nations — and Geshem agrees — that you and the Jews plan to rebel. This is the reason you are building the wall. According to these reports, you are to become their king

7and have even set up the prophets in Jerusalem to proclaim on your behalf, “There is a king in Judah.” These rumors will be heard by the king. So come, let’s confer together.

8Then I replied to him, “There is nothing to these rumors you are spreading; you are inventing them in your own mind.”
